[0058] Example 1

[0059] After the engine is assembled on the vehicle, the vehicle needs to be subjected to an outdoor water wading test. The vehicle is driven through a flooded area to wet the pulley and belt, and then the engine is run to determine whether the pulley and belt will slip when the vehicle is in the water. However, in outdoor test sites in the north, due to the extremely low temperature in winter, the wet pulleys and belts condense into frost, which affects the diagnosis of whether the belt is slipping. In this regard, the present embodiment provides a pulley slippage diagnosis method that can be used in the field of vehicle technology. The pulley slippage diagnosis method is executed by a pulley slippage diagnosis device. Specifically, as shown in FIG. Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the pulley slip diagnosis method includes the following steps.

[0060] S100: Start the engine.

[0061] Turn on the key switch, the engine ignites and starts, the engine provides power to the car, and the tester drives the car on the test road.

[0062] S110: Obtaining a standard value of slippage before wading.

[0063] Specifically, S110 includes steps S1101-S1103.

[0064] S1101: Obtain the rotation speed of the air conditioner.

[0065] The first sensor is installed on the air-conditioning compressor pulley. The air-conditioning rotation speed is accurately measured by the first sensor and transmitted to the slip standard value acquisition module.

[0066] S1102: Obtain the rotation speed of the pulley before wading.

[0067] The second sensor is installed on the pulley of the engine crankshaft by modifying the trial-produced code disc. The code disc rotates synchronously with the crankshaft pulley. By installing the second sensor on the code disc, the real-time speed of the pulley can be accurately measured and transmitted to the slip standard value acquisition module. The second sensor is a speed encoder.

[0068] S1103: Calculate a first speed ratio, where the first speed ratio is obtained by the ratio of the speed of the pulley before wading to the speed of the air conditioner.

[0069] S120: Entering a wading control mode, the wading control mode includes: a siphon tube is connected to the water tank, and the siphon tube automatically absorbs water from the water tank and sprays it toward the pulley.

[0070] The water inlet of the siphon tube is installed in the external water tank, and the water outlet of the siphon tube is facing the meshing position of the pulley and the belt. When the engine is started for a period of time, water is filled in the water tank and the pulley rotates at high speed. According to Bernoulli's principle, the pressure of the fluid is affected by the flow rate. The greater the gas flow rate along the circumferential direction of the pulley, the smaller the pressure. That is, the water outlet pressure of the siphon tube close to the pulley is small, and the water inlet pressure of the siphon tube is large, so that the siphon tube automatically draws water from the water tank and continuously sprays it on the meshing position of the pulley and the belt, so that the pulley and belt continue to maintain a wading state.

[0071] S130: Obtaining the current value of slip after wading.

[0072] Specifically, S130 includes steps S1301-S1302.

[0073] S1301: Obtain the rotation speed of the pulley after wading.

[0074] The second sensor can accurately measure the rotation speed of the pulley after wading and transmit it to the current slip value acquisition module.

[0075] S1302: Calculate a second speed ratio, where the second speed ratio is obtained by the ratio of the speed of the pulley after wading to the speed of the air conditioner.

[0076] S140: Determine whether the current slip value after wading is equal to the standard slip value before wading.

[0077] The current slip value after wading is the speed ratio of the pulley speed after wading to the speed of the air conditioner. The standard slip value before wading is the speed ratio of the pulley speed before wading to the speed of the air conditioner. The slip determination module determines that the current slip value after wading is not equal to the standard slip value before wading, which means that the pulley is in a slipping state.

[0078] The pulley slippage diagnosis method provided in this embodiment starts the engine, obtains the slippage standard value before wading, and enters the wading control mode. The wading control mode includes: a siphon tube is connected to a water tank, the siphon tube automatically absorbs water from the water tank and sprays it onto the pulley, obtains the current slippage value after wading, determines that the current slippage value after wading is not equal to the slippage standard value before wading, and judges that the pulley is in a slippage state. It is used to eliminate potential engine failures and solve the problem that the pulley and belt after wading due to extremely low temperatures in northern winters condense into frost. It can diagnose whether the pulley is slipping in outdoor venues in winter.

[0079] Example 2

[0080] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a pulley slippage diagnosis method, which is specific based on the above-mentioned embodiment 1. The pulley slippage diagnosis method includes the following steps.

[0081] S200: Start the engine.

[0082] S210: Obtaining a standard value of slippage before wading.

[0083] The skid standard value before wading is obtained through the skid standard value acquisition module.

[0084] S220: Entering wading control mode.

[0085] S230: Compare the slip standard value and the slip current value.

[0086] If the slip standard value before wading is equal to the current slip value after wading, it is determined that the pulley is not slipping, then return to S220 and repeat the steps of S220; if the slip standard value before wading is not equal to the current slip value after wading, then execute S240.

[0087] S240: Entering the pulley slip elimination mode, the pulley slip elimination mode includes: changing the torque of the generator.

[0088] When the slippage standard value before wading is not equal to the slippage current value after wading, it means that the pulley is in a slipping state after wading. If no measures are taken to eliminate the slippage, it is very likely that the belt will separate from the pulley within a certain period of time and fail, and further lead to test failure.

[0089] The pulley slip elimination mode includes changing the torque of the generator, based on the pulley being in a slip state, changing the negative torque of the generator to positive torque, or changing the positive torque of the generator to negative torque, so that the pulley eliminates the slip state.

[0090] S250: Re-obtain the standard value of skidding before wading.

[0091] S260: Based on the wading control mode, re-obtain the current slip value after wading.

[0092] S270: Compare the slip standard value and the slip current value.

[0093] If the standard value of slip before wading is not equal to the current value of slip after wading, return to S240 and repeat steps S240-S260; if the standard value of slip before wading is equal to the current value of slip after wading, execute S280.

[0094] S280: End the wading test mode.

[0095] Ending the wading test mode means that the engine is stopped and the siphon tube no longer sprays water toward the meshing position of the pulley and the belt, thereby completing the diagnosis of whether the pulley is slipping.

[0096] The pulley slippage diagnosis method provided in this embodiment is based on the above-mentioned embodiment 1. The method starts the engine, obtains the slippage standard value before wading, and enters the wading control mode. If the pulley slips, the pulley slippage elimination mode is entered, the torque of the generator is changed, and the slippage standard value before wading is re-obtained. Based on the wading control mode, the current slippage value after wading is re-obtained, and the size of the current slippage value after wading and the slippage standard value before wading is determined to determine whether the pulley slips. If it slips, the wading test mode is terminated. The implementation of the above-mentioned pulley slippage diagnosis method can diagnose whether the pulley is slipping in outdoor venues in winter.

[0097] Example 3
